THE FRENCH SITUATION.

Yesterday we cis the difference be-
tween The system Of the French Republic
and ours in The form of election of Presi-
dent.
The Journal Of Commerce has an ex-
haustive article yesterday on the ss ne
subject, and says that We should not ac-
cuse the French OF being tickle, because
that election Of President is something
they have very little to do with. as the
senators are elected for nine years and
the members Of the lower house for four,
and these together elect President for
seven years In our system the idea was
TO elect President by popular vote, but
to interpose the electoral college, which
represents the popular vote but restrsins
both sides in judicial way
The people were expected to con6de
fully in the wisdom and patriotism OF
the electors and tie latter were TO act as
conservative cheek upon the possibly
blind and wrong impulses OF the people
In practice the electors merely ratify the
popular decree made known at the ballot
box Our system has its admitted de-
fects, but 1t does not err on the side OF
interpOsing an actual barrier between
the President and the people. This is
done in the Republic of France, and It's
object is, doubtless the same az that which
led to the adoption of much longer terms
of service in all the departments than are
known to the United States.

DECEMBER 2
FRIDAY
A RECENT FAILURE

Henry Georges political canvass has
given him trial by public opinion, and
the verde, IS that Mr.. George could not
stand the ordeal. one Of his books was
written in such brilliant style that it
attracted attention, and caused The aver
age man to conclude that the author was
trenchant critic of accepted methods Of
government in this country; and as what
we want is the trenchant critic to point
out the errors and abuses OF authority.
Mr.. George got hearing before the
American public in his proposed double
character of pairio, and refoimer.
His pose WAS good. and as the critic
OF our distinguished friend, the Dispatch,
would LAY, the performance as whole
was pleasing"
But when the second act opened in the
recent election in New Yor, and Mr..
George expeclorsted the intention to
Try socialism if his own theory Of re-
form IVY uld not work at once, the Amer
lean common sense began to give Mr.
George another trial with the light OF his
own testimony.
The first thing they found out was that
this pretended political economist and
pbiloso her was only an Office seeker
who had so little confidence in himself
as a philosopher that he acknowledged
the probable necessity Of trying social
ism or something else that is, An
srchy, or any tune that might work up a
New York mob or deceive the working
men.
The second act was failue, and though
SIR. George and MIR McGlynn work their
mouths, the popular echo does not seem
to take hold of the words

THE LEGISLATURE.

We outlined the character OF the Leg
islature the other day in respect OF the
relative strength Of the two opposing
parties, and the probable result of main
tanning the present policy Of opposing
the decisions OF the United States Su-
preme Court II there is a decision In
favor OF The creditors and q part of the
Legislature. as Is most likely, persis, In
obstructing the use Of coupons, 1t Is in
evitable that either the reputation part
of the party or the conservative section
must back down, for there will be no
ground OF compromise, except the evil
dent result OF such decision TO oyerrun
the State Treasury with coupons and
destroy the States revenues.
But beyond the interest of the matter
in the state il is a most important m t.
ter TO the success of the Democracy in
the presidential election. With all the
advantages On our side it would be very
serious break In the line IL the Republi-
cans were able to stamp reputation on a
Democratic State, and the point would
weaken our position badly. Upon one
view of the case which holds the control
OF the State to be more important than
the control OF the National Administra-
tion this is Of no account. But if the
position Virginia, as Democratic
State, is not sound, ii will certainly en-
d niger our success, and most thoughtful
people are of the opinion that another
Republican President would be the worst
possible thing that could happen to us,
and vastly more disastrous than even
paying the debt.
Therefore, as we seek to interest poll
ticians with something more practical al
times than patriotism, we take occasion
TO say in this connection that Demo-
cratic Administration is necessary to the
m ,inlenanre Of good supply Of patron
age and Office holding.

The question Of Government control
OF the telegraph service will come up
early in Congress, and doubtless the first
point taken will be that as one concern
now has all the business, doubtless the
Government had just as well take the
place Of that concern. Various PROPOSE
tions-for the purchase OF existing fran
chises by the Government, for the build
ing Of independent lines, for the regua-
ton of existing corporations on the prin-
ciplcs of the inter State commerce law
for the railways, and olhers-will be sub.
milted and will give rise TO very earnest
discussion.
Another great point is that the Gov
eminent control is quite perfect so far as
Government business is concerned, and
the idea suggests itself that we had as
well give to a general public a chance on
an equal footing with the Government
But as to The propositions to buy out a
monopoly at high rate, let the Govern
ment be excused in the interest OF the
people who would prefer to see new lines
buiI than premium given 10 the mo-
nopoly.
It's only question of little time, and
the best way for the Democratic House 10
do is to take time by the forelock and
propose an honest and cheap system OF
telegraph service under government con-
troll.
